(P.O.V. shot of Steven, as a Watermelon Steven, opening his eyes. The sounds of the island become a little louder.)

(Steven jumps to its feet, surprised by its watermelon feet. At a river, Steven opens his mouth, spitting out a few seeds.)

Watermelon Steven

Bwargh.

(Steven gasps and covers his mouth. He spits out a few more seeds, grunts some more and spins in confusion. He sits down and coughs, mumbling to himself. Barking is heard as Melon Mutt jumps out of a nearby bush. It bounces along the ground, shakes its tail and rolls over to Watermelon Steven. Steven pets the Mutt and follows it across the river into the Watermelon village.)

Watermelon Steven

Huh.

(Two Watermelon Stevens chop into the soil with farming tools. Another picks up a baby Watermelon, and another brings another baby to a cart full of baby Watermelons. The cart's driver cracks a whip with some reins, which gets the watermelon horse to walk. Watermelon chickens make clucking sounds, with a nearby Watermelon Steven wearing a skirt and flowers sweeping the ground.)

Watermelon Steven in skirt

Bwah wah.

(Another Watermelon wearing a tie emerges from the hut. The cart driver delivers a baby to the Watermelon, and the baby runs into the left Watermelon's arms. Two more Watermelons play a footbag game, with another playing drums. Two more Watermelons dance together, laughing.)

(Tremors are heard and Steven feels some shaking.)

Watermelon Steven

Huh?

(Birds cry and fly. A Watermelon Steven hits a gong in a continuous rhythm. The Watermelon Stevens gather together by the Baby Melon statue. A Watermelon Steven with a stick shakes its stick, prompting all the villagers to touch their noses. The same Watermelon points its stick at Steven. A group of Watermelon Stevens carries Steven on a wooden chair. The group claps twice and walks away from the cliff.)

Watermelon Steven

Uh?

(The other Watermelons show Steven the pose he is meant to take. Steven takes the pose and Malachite rises out of the water.)

Watermelon Steven

*Screams*

(Malachite roars, her arms and body held back by chains.)

Malachite

Steven...

(Malachite opens her mouth and rushes towards Steven. There is a biting sound.)

The ground shook! This could be the start of the emergence of the Cluster. Stage 1: slight tremors every quarter hour. Stage 2: full-scale earthquakes. Stage 3: the Earth is destroyed! We're running out of time. We need to drill right now!

You're right. Oh, I know! I'll fall asleep and go into a Watermelon Steven again. This way, I can help them and be safe at the same time. Eheheheheh. *lies down*

Peridot

Wow. You're a real anarchist.

Steven

No one can tell me what to do. *snores*

Peridot

Wait, what do I do now? Don't just leave me here! *sighs*

[Trans. Int. Mask Island]

(Drums play in the background. The drums stop when a Watermelon Steven convulses and falls to the ground, possessed by Steven. Steven gets up and runs to the beach, where Malachite struggles against her chains.)

Huh! They're here! *grunts* Ugh, Stop! Pathetic! Don't you see? We've been holding us back for too long. And for what? If we're going to be this thing together, why don't we have some fun?

Alexandrite

We don't have to fight! You're outnumbered.

(Malachite raises two water fists.)

Malachite

I may be outnumbered, but you're out of your depth! I can't wait to tear you Gems apart!

(Alexandrite roars, and she and Malachite fight. Eventually, Malachite sends Alexandrite to the floor, and Alexandrite's hand breaks a warp pad. Steven runs to a waterfall, where tremors from the battle can be heard. Watermelon Stevens whimper and cry. Melon Mutt comes to Steven's side.)

Watermelon Steven

*Grunts angrily many times, in a way that sounds like giving a speech*

(A Watermelon Steven pumps its stick up and down. Steven and some other Watermelons grunt and pump their fists in rhythm with the stick. More Watermelons join in. They grunt a war cry and march in a line on a path.)

There really is something more to this fusion thing. It's not just a cheap trick.

(Malachite throws Alexandrite, and Alexandrite screams before splashing into the ocean.)

Malachite

You've really shown me a whole new world of possibilities.

(Alexandrite begins to unfuse, and glows for a moment before stopping and retaining her form.)

Alexandrite

Keep it together.

Malachite

Allow me to thank you.

(Malachite forms a pair of water hands that close around Alexandrite and freeze.)

Malachite

Sorry, but there's only room for one abomination on this measly planet. *Laughs*

(A horn is blown.)

Malachite

Huh?

(Watermelon Stevens emerge on to the beach. Steven blows a shell horn. A number of Watermelon Stevens grunt as they clang their spears against Malachite's hands. Others fire arrows from bows into Malachite, who laughs and giggles. Steven blows a shell horn, and several catapults launch stones at Malachite, stopping her laughter. One Watermelon Steven in a skirt makes a war cry as it falls towards Malachite's eye.)

Malachite

Huh?

(Watermelon Steven in skirt punches Malachite's eye, with a squishing sound. Malachite trips over a rope and falls to the ground, where more Watermelons punch her. Alexandrite breaks out of the ice hands, breathing heavily, and roars.)

Malachite

What is this?! You think you can hold me down?!

(Malachite throws some Watermelon Stevens into the air. The Watermelon Stevens all splat on the ground.)

Malachite

Nobody can! Not anymore.

(Malachite prepares to step on Steven and Melon Mutt.)

Alexandrite

Hey!

(Sugilite's flail wraps around Malachite and hits her in the face.)

Alexandrite

Don't forget about me!

(Alexandrite pulls in Malachite, punches her, and smacks her into the air with Sardonyx's hammer. Malachite rights herself in the air, and she gasps as Alexandrite prepares to shoot her with Opal's bow and arrow.)

Alexandrite

You two should spend some time apart.

(Alexandrite fires the arrow, which turns into a shape of Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl holding hands before piercing Malachite. Malachite inflates and explodes. Steven and the other Watermelons cheer while Jasper and Lapis fall to the ground after they defused. Alexandrite walks to the beach, with Jasper and Lapis Lazuli in her hands after catching them, and she falls to her knees, groaning before she unfuses. Garnet, Pearl, and Amethyst land.)

Pearl

*pants, then laughs*

Amethyst

Eurgh... I'm alive.

(Steven hugs Pearl)

Pearl

Steven? Is that you in there?

(Steven nods)

Garnet

Thank you. We couldn't have done it without your help.

Amethyst

Good job, melon head.

Garnet

Thank you. All of you. You are truly brave.

Watermelon Stevens

*happy grunts*

Everybody

*Laughs*

(Tremor, then an earthquake. Amethyst grabs Lapis while Jasper slides into a fissure after Pearl fails to grab her.)

Watermelon Steven

*Grunts*

Melon Mutt

*Barks*

Garnet

It must be the cluster. Peridot was right. Steven, it's up to you. The warp was destroyed. We won't make it back in time.

(Steven shakes his head)

Garnet

Wake up, get Peridot and start drilling. The Earth needs you, Steven. We'll be fine. You can do this. We believe in you.
